+Invocation Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I was listening to my YouTube Mix the other day and re-reading Well of Ascension, and something decided it would be a good idea to throw the song Stronger On Your Own (by Disturbed, I listened to them once and I can never escape) right up alongside an interaction with Zane and Vin, and honestly? Ironic. Go listen to the song and tell me that doesn't sound like a song for their whole deal. That got me thinking. What songs do y'all associate with particular characters/interactions/places in the Mistborn books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerunner he/him Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Though I don't think this fits as well, but as soon as I read this "Losing my Religion" by R.E.M. came to mind for Sazed during the Hero of Ages. On another note, I know there was a kickstarter for an album based off The Way of Kings. Have you listened to that? I haven't, but I'd be curious on how well that music matches the book.

Caevita he/him Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 [Insert obligatory You Say Run joke here] Are we including the second series here? If so, Spoiler Wayne's interactions with Allriandre makes me think of Curl Up and Die by Relient K (listen to it if you haven't), but since that's just way too depressing to leave here on its own, I'll also say that Wax works really well with It Ain't Over by The Likes of Us. That one's not on youtube though, check it out on spotify or elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi he/him Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) How about an actual song that was made for Sazed? Edited November 8, 2018 by Firerust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavtyven he/him Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I always associate A Fire on a Hill, by Hands Like Houses with Kelsier. Especially the following part: Quote We'll set fire to a hill,So intense that it will be the brightest star on this side of the sky. The rest mainly fits in my head, as I listened to this album alongside reading Mistborn for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian he/him Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I saw back in black for Kelsier at the end of the last Wax & Wayne book as a fitting song, it's epic & kinda fits. I could see a scene cutting to him walking away epically with it playing in the background! Also Sound of Silence (disturbed cover) for when Elend sees everyone dying around him & he meets his fate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandlerhimself Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 I actually made a song last year for Wax. I liked Mistborn era 2 much more than I thought I would, so I decided to make this. I wanted to get a Epic/Futuristic/Western feel. I don't know if I achieved it, but here it is. Firerust - Nice song 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to find someone else who also makes Mistborn-based songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Croaker's Apprentice he/him Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 My answer to this topic is "The soundtrack to Season 1 of Westworld" for all of the Wax & Wayne books; it's a brilliant sci-fi/ western re-working of several pop/rock 'classics' (as well as some great original scores). Whenever I hear the music, I definitely think of the books now, not the TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
